Journal Article
Horrocks. (2012). An improved single-step lysis protocol to measure luciferase bioluminescence in Plasmodium falciparum. Malaria Journal, 42 -?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1475-2875-11-42

This report describes the optimization and evaluation of a simple single-step lysis protocol to measure luciferase bioluminescence from genetically modified Plasmodium falciparum. This protocol utilizes a modified commercial buffer to improve speed o... Read More about An improved single-step lysis protocol to measure luciferase bioluminescence in Plasmodium falciparum.

Comparison of the absolute and relative efficiencies of electroporation-based transfection protocols for Plasmodium falciparum. (2012)
Journal Article
Horrocks. (2012). Comparison of the absolute and relative efficiencies of electroporation-based transfection protocols for Plasmodium falciparum. Malaria Journal, 210 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1475-2875-11-210

BACKGROUND: Several electroporation protocols exist to transfect exogenous DNA into Plasmodium falciparum. To date, however, only a subjective analysis of their relative efficiencies has been reported. METHODS: A time-course of luciferase reporter ex...
